How did we determine Wyoming's most family friendly places? We consulted the US Census on places in the Cowboy State with more than 2,000 residents. We looked at several factors: crime, education, family friendly activities, and the percent of households that currently have children. We ended up with 23 family friendly Wyoming places that any family would be lucky to call home.

We discovered that there are family friendly places for every budget. Wyoming has hip places like Cheyenne where your babies can safely grow up to be cowboys and cowgirls, idyllic 'how the west was won' places like Rock Springs, and upscale places like Jackson for families who don't have to worry about being on a budget.

Incidentally, Wyoming is the tenth biggest state, but the least populous state. We think that's all the more reason to raise your family in this flyover state: there's plenty of room for your kids to run and there's plenty of opportunity to make a difference.

How we crunched the family friendly numbers for the Equality State

We threw a lot of criteria at this one in order to get the best, most complete results possible. Using U.S. Census data produced for the state of Wyoming, we looked at every single city in the state. We paid particular attention to:

• Crime (Both violent and property)
• Quality of local schools
• Distance to a major city without necessarily being in it
• % of households with children
• Family-friendly amenities nearby (museums, libraries and colleges)

We then gave each city a Family Score.

The higher the score, the better the city is for families. We also limited our results to cities with populations over 2,000 people. For Wyoming, that meant a total of 23 cities. You can download the data here.
